But there was a guy ( see the link on that page), who booted the grub iso in qemu. It was a development version that day, but I never got it up completely in qemu. Virtualbox crashes in the beginning (no support for the newest kernel at the moment).

Which version of VirtualBox are you using? In my case it didn't work (VirtualBox 1.6.2, Linux version). Only when I add the noreplace-paravirt option, it works. Other distributions which use the newest kernel also didn't work with VirtualBox (Ubuntu for example).

I have the most current version of virtual Box. I downloaded it about a week or 2 ago. I am not sure as I am at work but I'll let you know when I can. I also was able to install ubuntu 8.04 with no problems. Do remember when installing the Virtual box aditions you must be root user. Also may have to re-install the virtual Box aditions when kernal is updated as it dose make changes to the kernal. I see no reason why UBCD dosen't work in there. I will test it out when I can which may not be till next week as long as I have no problems downloading UBCD V5.

UBCD50 doesn't have problems in a virtual machine. Parted Magic 3.0 does. In the current beta of UBCD5 (UBCD5b4), there is no problem with booting Parted Magic because it is still version 2.2.

Try for VPC2007:
noeject noreplace-paravirt xforcevesaAdd those parameters first to the fail save option

If it works. Add them to the Safe Graphics Settings (vga=normal) option.

It is not that strange that it won't work in VPC2007, it is a Microsoft product and it designed in the first place to work with different windows versions.
The info at the Microsoft website doesn't even list linux as a supported guest OS.
